I've decided that out of the goodness of my heart i would like to give this to someone who is less fortunate and can't afford christmas this year. Looking for someone younger obvcourse with no access to the money that we have and are fortunate for. If you know someone or are someone, comment below or inbox me.

PS. IT WILL SICKIN ME IF YOU ARE LIEING ABOUT BEING LESS FORTUNATE, You have to put yourself in there shoes, imagine being a young boy waking up with nothing infront of you christmas morning. Hard to think about but its reality for some familys.

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON NS!☺

It'll be hard to tell if people are lying, most people on NS would do such a thing. But that's awfully generous of you. Bump.

I know you're probably trying to keep this on NS, but I wouldn't trust most of these people here.  Check out the link above, Denver Childrens Hospital, I volunteer with a this group and it sucks seeing these kids in the hospital during the holidays.  Hopefully someone honest hits you up, really cool thing you're doing.

really awesome of you 10/10 but i think instead of having it on ns you should take it to your local fire station, my local ones usually take christmas gifts for children. i wouldnt trust anyone on ns but if you really want to keep it on ns i could definitely find a worthy home for it

you know what you should do? Instead of put it on ns.

Go to your school, with it in your backpack and look for a kid that has a hard ass time. Everyone has a tv maybe a little cash lying around somewhere. But find a kid who you have never talked to before, but have noticed and seen as the kid with nothing. and ask if he has a gaming system or something if he says no. Straight hand it to him and say merry christmas, i'm sure that would bring so much joy to him/her. and the fact you get to do it in person is way better.


Or if you don't go to school

Go to a skatepark, the ghetto, go out of YOUR boundries to find someone, go to a orphanage, maybe instead of 1 kid enjoying it 10-20 could enjoy it. Do something in person, not over the interent.

Thanks a ton guys, lots of great ideas. I think thats what im going to do tho, i could for sure find a family thats had it pretty hard, and with respectful young kids. I think thats another point aswell, if i dont see them actually receive the gift it could just be another one of those snobby kids who are not fortunate for people helping them out you know ?

Exactly.



Hopefully somebody actually finds somebody that could use it. I knew people but not as much anymore. Hopefully there's a young kid that knows someone and it mature enough to get it to them.


I like threads like these much more than a bunch of 14 year olds bitching about how they only got $3,500 worth of christmas presents this year.

do this in person so you can make sure the kid really can't afford it and will have a shitty christmas otherwise

Honestly your going to get SOOOO many liars. I would not send this to someone you dont know over the internet. If i were you i would find a poor little child somewhere in your area so you can meet this person and give it to him then.

I know there are probably a ton of people with Xbox 360 games that they just don't play for one reason or another. Would you accept it if people sent you games they aren't playing to add onto this package?

I know Halo is rated T, and I think Fable is as well. So why not throw in some kid friendly games we aren't playing. I think I have an old Madden or NBA Live sitting around that I'd throw in.

Great Idea! In the package it comes with Fable and Halo Reach two pretty decent games i'd say.

Here's kind of where im standing right now with it. I have found a family of 4 around my area, parents both got laid off, 2 12 year old kids. By FAR the nicest family i have ever met, my local hill just added a huge expansion and what im going to do for them is do the xbox and a family seasons pass for them, with rentals for the year. I am hoping this will be a christmas that these boys and there parents will never forget!

Thanks for all the input NS, have yourselves a great holiday season. Shreeeeddddddddddd Hard

Later, mgraham

this thread is great. hands down one of the proudest i've been of any NSer. 10/10 to you, and I agree with what people are saying, definitely do it in person. maybe it would ruin the moment but i think if you filmed it that it'd be pretty cool thing to see, i'd send you a game or two but i'm at boarding school away from my xbox right now.

good luck man, you're gonna make one kids christmas so much better, i might just have to do something like this as well in my own way

that's awesome dude.

someone should make a thread in NSG and for christmas we should all do something generous like this, maybe not as expensive as an xbox and a family seasons pass to their home mountain, but atleast something similar

it'd be awesome if we all participated in some act of kindess, small or big, for someone we've never met before during the holidays

Dude , you seem like a very good person, if i was your friend, id know you'd be a real friend . Not alot of people is ready to help people that have less chance in life like this! Good job bro!! Btw at my school its the second year we do that : this year us students gave to poor kids of our city a gift to all of them , they are about 250 , and we managed to acquire 450+ gifts, so all of them will get a christmas and a birthday present ! All of them got wrapped up kids at my school, so everybody, including me , has given a christmas present to kids that , usually dont get any for christmas while us are usually complaining about the fact that we are not happy sometimes of the like 1300$ gifts we get . Youll go far in life!

If you can't find a fortunate kid you could sell it here in the Buy/Sell and donate the proceeds to charity. 10/10 to you sir.
